Pantanal Agricola

pantanalagricola.com.br Pantanal Agrícola S.A. is a Brazilian agri-input distributor (crop protection, fertilizers, seeds) founded in 2001 in São Gabriel do Oeste, Mato Grosso do Sul — 19 legal units, 15-16 stores across MS/MT/GO, ~300 employees, serving 64+ municipalities and 5 million hectares of farmland. Partners include BASF, Corteva, FMC, Sumitomo, ICL, and Brevant; the business model centers on barter (inputs repaid with grain) plus agronomic advisory. The headline event: Bunge signed an MOU in Nov 2021 to acquire a minority stake, adding grain-storage and trading muscle. It finances heavily through agri-receivables certificates (8 CRA/CDCA deals since 2019, ~R$217M+, incl. R$145M in 2025 via Ecoagro and a tokenized CDCA with Banco BV). Corporate governance is professionalizing — SA fechada since 2019, board expanded with independents in 2025-26, new CFO Flávio Sales (2025); founder-CEO Jonis Assmann still leads, with second generation (Bruno Franciosi) in management.
